So the gun nuts are using the shooting in Newtown
to call for even more guns and as an excuse to hoard
even more high-powered killing devices...
the religiously intolerant are calling upon their
crazy, false version of god to save the rest of us....
the politicians and the greedy evangelicals are using
the mass killing to (conveniently) blame the people they
have always hated and feared, promoting their dark agenda....
and the media continues to milk the event for every
last shred of mileage they possibly can, unrelenting and
self-congratulating all the way to ratings gold.
When did sanity go on an extended Leave of Absence?
I'm sort of hoping that tonight does mark the end of the
world; this planet needs a humanity-enema.
***************************************
So I scream and I blame and get out of whack,
and still I feel the gorilla on my back,
still I am consumed by a sense of lack;
you'd think by know I would have gotten the knack.
There is no contented resolution to be had;
I must release all the negativity and choose to be glad.
Allow that there are times when I will be sad--
Try not to compound it with going mad.
I run an inventory of another's perceived slights;
imagining them responsible for all my inner fights...
and then suddenly dawns one of those rare inner lights;
my own responsibility has me dead to rights.
My expectations of others are unfair at best,
my demands on myself are not enough of a test,
my complaints and gripes and bashing don't rest;
no wonder my life is absent zeal and zest.
I don't know
If there's blame.
I never knew
There were
2 different relationships
going on simultaneously.
I never knew You.
Sorry.
